The movie theater sold 345 tickets to a show. If 2/3 of the tickets sold were adult tickets, which cost $13.95 each, how much money did the theater make from the sale of children’s tickets if they cost 2/3 of the amount of adult tickets? Answer with a dollar amount rounded to the nearest hundredth, placing commas in appropriate places.(1 point)

1 answer

The number of adult tickets sold is 2/3 * 345 tickets = <<2/3*345=230>>230 tickets
The cost of an adult ticket is $13.95 * 230 tickets = $<<13.95*230=3208.5>>3208.5
The cost of a children's ticket is 2/3 * $13.95 = $<<2/3*13.95=9.3>>9.3
The number of children's tickets sold is 345 tickets - 230 tickets = <<345-230=115>>115 tickets
The money made from the sale of children's tickets is $9.3 * 115 tickets = $<<9.3*115=1069.5>>1069.5. Answer: \boxed{1,069.50}.
